Washington: US President-elect Joe Biden on Monday accused Donald Trump’s administration of withholding national security information, saying his team faced transitional obstacles from key areas, including the Department of Defense.
“From some agencies, our teams received support from career staff. From others, especially in the Department of Defense, we faced a blockage from political leadership,” Biden said during a press briefing. This comes as Trump’s administration has authorised the transition to Biden’s administration.
During his press briefing, Biden stated that his team is “not getting all the information we need from the outgoing administration in key national security areas. It is irresponsible.”
